Abdominal Myomectomy Surgery
Abdominal Myomectomy is a specialised gynaecological surgery performed to remove uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus) while preserving the uterus. It is often recommended for women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or pressure symptoms caused by fibroids. At Ujala Cygnus Hospitals, our experienced gynaecologists and minimally invasive surgery specialists provide advanced Abdominal Myomectomy treatment to help women achieve symptom relief while maintaining their fertility and reproductive health.
Advanced Abdominal Myomectomy Treatment at Ujala Cygnus Hospitals
At Ujala Cygnus Hospitals, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for women affected by uterine fibroids. Fibroids are one of the most common gynaecological conditions and can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Depending on their size, location, and number, fibroids may cause heavy periods, pelvic discomfort, frequent urination, abdominal bloating, fertility challenges, and pregnancy complications.
Abdominal Myomectomy is considered one of the most effective fertility-preserving surgical options for women who wish to remove fibroids without undergoing a hysterectomy. Our specialists conduct detailed evaluations using ultrasound scans, MRI imaging, and clinical assessments to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Using modern surgical techniques and personalised care plans, our team focuses on removing fibroids safely while preserving the uterus and improving long-term reproductive outcomes.
What is Abdominal Myomectomy?
Abdominal Myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes fibroids from the uterus through an incision made in the lower abdomen. Unlike a hysterectomy, which involves removal of the uterus, an abdominal myomectomy allows women to retain their uterus and maintain the possibility of future pregnancy.
The procedure is commonly recommended for women with large fibroids, multiple fibroids, severe symptoms, or fertility concerns. During surgery, the fibroids are carefully removed, and the uterine wall is repaired to restore its structure and function. Abdominal Myomectomy can significantly reduce symptoms while helping preserve reproductive health.

Possible Risks and Complications of Abdominal Myomectomy and How They Are Managed
Like all surgical procedures, Abdominal Myomectomy carries certain risks. However, expert surgical care and careful planning help minimise complications.
Short-Term Risks
Bleeding
Fibroid surgery may involve blood loss, which is carefully monitored and managed during the procedure.
Infection
Infections at the surgical site are uncommon and can usually be treated effectively with antibiotics.
Pain and Discomfort
Temporary abdominal pain and soreness are expected after surgery and improve gradually during recovery.
Blood Clot Formation
Rarely, blood clots may develop after surgery, particularly during prolonged periods of inactivity.
Anaesthesia-Related Complications
Minor complications related to anaesthesia may occur but are minimised through thorough pre-operative evaluation.
Long-Term Risks
Fibroid Recurrence
New fibroids may develop in the future, particularly in younger women.
Scar Tissue Formation
Internal scar tissue may occasionally develop and affect pelvic organs or fertility.
Future Pregnancy Considerations
Some women may require a caesarean section during future pregnancies depending on the extent of uterine repair.
Adhesion Formation
Adhesions may occur after surgery and can occasionally contribute to pelvic discomfort.
Fertility Challenges
Although the procedure is fertility-preserving, underlying reproductive factors may still affect conception.
